[Man, there is no not-awkward way to approach this: but after the recent full moon, the reality of the situation has hit in force: bonds are a necessity here in Aefenglom. He knows it's true for monsters, and he can't help but hope it's true for witches, if only because this is probably a weird thing to ask out of the blue.
But Louis is a witch. He'd arrived at the same time as Shinjiro. He'd been patient with questions, snarky with answers, and altogether composed about everything, so he thinks the risk of getting any obscene emotional bleedover is pretty low. Might as well ask.]
hey so off the wall question here
you need a bond with anyone? because i'm gonna need one before the next full moon. this last one was pretty rough.
[he definitely splintered a bookcase at one point.]
figured i'd ask you cause you seem pretty normal, and i know that people say you can get like emotions leaking over from it. so i get it if not.
[ Louis reads over the text - 5, 10 times even before he even decides to answer Shinjiro. He heard that it was useful, and now - well, after not feeling anything like himself the last full moon. Sure, he didn't change shapes or turn into a monster, but getting motivated was hard. What if they were always like that? So - that's what leads him to texting back. And, when he thinks about it, Shinjiro's reasoning makes sense. It seems like it would be smart. ]
I do need one. It wasn't great at all. But --
Alright. That seems like a smart idea. Sooner versus later is probably better.
cool i didnt know if you'd go for it. [IT'S... HONESTLY A RELIEF. He's sure he could find other witches, but his known list of them is very short.] it helps witches out too, right? like with magic buildup or something?
i dunno seems like it sucks for everyone all around. exploding dont sound too good either.
yeah thats what i was thinking. figured get it out of the way so we dont gotta scramble when it gets to be more of an issue.
any ground rules you wanna lay down? i dunno much about this bonding thing over than it helps to hang out a few times a week for magic transfer or whatever.
I know about the same as you - that we need to cycle through magic. And, it helps kind of curb that feral instinct on the full moon, and helps keep me from exploding. Benefits all around, honestly. We'll make sure we do the whole thing before the next full moon. Better than risking it again, right?
And...um, no real rules. Just ... try not to get killed again or something. That should be easy enough, right?
yeah thats about what i heard. i'll look into whatever we gotta do to get it done. that way you don't like combust or something and i don't try and fight makoto again.
oh. yeah. i got no plans of dying here. it wouldn't do me any good to kick it again i guess.
[Not... that the urge to bust his nose wasn't there.]
yknow i'd take offense at that but yeah i did kinda walk right into a bullet. [RUSHING THE GUY WITH THE GUN a bad idea, who would have thought.] alright no getting killed for either of us. i can work with that.
hey Louis. it's Makoto, if u remember me from the day we arrived? and also as that guy who lives with shinjiro and sleeps in until noon every day. how've u been?
